Touring SB Nation: It's time for some games

Touring_sbnation_468_medium

As the NFL exhibition schedule gets into full swing, let's tour SB Nation and see what the other fine football bloggers are talking about.

The current camp doesn't have the glitz and the showmanship that we saw last year. It's more like boot camp. You're there to learn your job, perfect your skills, and learn how to cover your buddies six-o'clock when the bullets are flying. Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett seem to be slugging it out with their best tactics, trying out what works and simultaneously preparing each others troops for the rigors of what will come.

The interviews are more subdued, the players and coaches seem more humble this year.

Valentine's View: The Cowboys, and their fans, have been all talk and no results for years. I will believe things are actually different in Big D when -- at the end of the season -- the results prove it.

Makes one wonder..

What kind of off season regimen the Eagles had this year…they are dropping like flies..You hate to hear players getting hurt…but it is a good thing for us..Some of our guys are a little nicked up, but obviously they worked hard all offseason..The Eagles didn’t. Also, I too will believe this transformed Dallas jazz when I see it on the field….Oh and T.O. hurt himself in camp?…what else is new..I guess he back to riding his bike for the rest of camp…Good luck Buffalo!…Your nightmare has just begun.

I have to think the Eagle players worked quite hard

Injuries happen. Sometimes they come in big bunches is all.

Eagles fan here

From what I have seen and heard this has been an extremely tough camp with a lot of competition because of the acquisitions of a few guys on the line and in our secondary. Reid has held what is said to be the toughest camp in his tenure. With JJ passing we have lost a major asset but his replacement is doing well. A lot of the guys injured will be fine- Our O-line for example will be ready soon, Peters is back and Shawn Andrews is out just for precaution, Herramans only has a stress fracture- will b back by the season. IF not Max Gene Gills started most of last yr and was great for us. Of course our Stud ILB is out but Gaithers had the same numbers he had the yr before and his back up Joe Mays is turning heads with big hits as well. D-Jax and TCole are only out this week most likely and Westy will be ready by the opener as well. It’s been tough but blown out of proportion by the press. We are still a major threat this year boys…

RIP JJ

Of course

The thing is, once this kind of injury thing starts it often doesn’t seem to go away.

stuff happens and we moved on

a few of the injuries were from last season- Yaw lost Osi last yr and still had a big D. We have more weapons on O then ever including a Stud FB to help Westy and will b a flat threat. Our Oline is more Agile than ever. And our D will work it self out, we still have all but 2 starters from last year, and one is being replased by a former starting ILB. As for TE Ingram woulda been nice but we did fine with one playmaker at TE last year, he was just a bonus. I think were gonna do great, we have arguably the best depth on both sides of the ball

RIP JJ

The Matt Nagy Story

is really interesting.. I wish his contract didn’t get turned down.. that would have been even more of a cinderella story than Warner because he’s older.. I remember when Matt Nagy was at Delaware, Westbrook and Villanova consistently kicked his ass.
